Restoration, Re -shaping, Rebinds and Commissions

Y es! We can do Commissions!

Our custom carving service caters to those seeking to have design input into a one off, bespoke piece, that will have great meaning to them.

We start by gathering information from you around your preferred design, what you would like the piece to mean, who the intended recipient is, your stone of choice and if you have any carver preference so that we fully understand what you are trying to achieve.

We are here to guide you through the process from initial ideas to delivery. This service is best suited to those who don’t have a tight time frame as this process can take several months to complete.

Our Custom service starts at $500.00. This includes design time.

If you are looking for multiple pieces or a one off under this value, or have a tight timeline, please reach out to inquiries@mokopounamu.co.nz and we will be able to find a solution to fit with your budget and specific requirements.

Kintsugi

Kintsugi is the Japanese art of repairing broken pottery by mending the areas of breakage with urushi lacquer dusted or mixed with powdered gold, silver or platinum. As a philosophy, it treats the breakage and repair as part of the history of the object, rather than something to disguise or discard. We have applied a similar method to the repair of pounamu. Gold and Pounamu are often found together so we are offering this service in gold only. While your pounamu won't be strong enough to wear, it will be preserved.

Prices for this service start at $60.00. Please contact us for a quote
